2019 FOREST RIVER ROCKWOOD — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

Dexter axels can not be aligned, resulting in excessive tire wear and blowouts. I purchased a 2019 Rockwood travel trailer used on [XXX]. Tires looked nearly new. On [XXX] I replaced tires in Kanab, UT. On 8/31/2021 I had the alignment checked at Superior Spring in Cheshire, MA. The axels were severely out of alignment but due to the Dexter design they could not be aligned. I called the trailer manufacturer and was referred to Dexter. Although I was 2 years into the 10 year warranty, Dexter told me the warranty only covered the original purchaser. Since that time, I have replaced tires two more times on 5/3/2022 and 4/10/2023. The tires are now showing uneven wear and will need to be replaced soon. I BELIEVE THE INABILITY TO ALIGN THE AXELS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW AND A SAFETY CONCERN.

Riding down 2 lane Road at 55 mph on 85 degree morning when tire just blow out. Split in half straight across tire.

My Forest River Rockwood signature 5th wheel control panel TP36Q10 failed at our campsite. We were stuck. Had to manually bring in 3 slides. The 3rd bedroom slide had to be battery override/control panel override with a drill motor battery to bring back into the 5th wheel coach. This I learned from a RV tech who we called but was unable to assist us. Guest were coming into our site the next day and we had to be off the site. Luckily we were able to get slides in and get out 5th wheel back home. However, It is not safe to use, we have canceled all further trips. (also see my youtube video link ( https://youtu.be/cH8sb5q1hIg) Forest river sent out the wrong replacement panel TP33Vv2. This did not fix the problem. This 5th wheel was made in 2019. This is not a old. This unit has not been modified or touched by anyone. Please send tech to my location to fix panel or replace. Please authorize budget for labor and parts. I already lost deposits for future trips. (Not Happy) Next step is BBB and consumer affairs. Please help. Thank you. [XXX] call anytime.
